theres a minor issue with your mage guide to grobbulus, in the deck, it says to put mad scientist in, but you dont unlock mad scientist until you beat grobbulus, its good for second play-through and heroic, but as somebody doing the quarter for the first time i got confused, then annoyed

The druid deck also uses Stalagg and Feugen before they have been unlocked.

There are „only“ two problems in this fight: Patchwerk's weapon and his Hero Power. Simply playing taunts will not suffice, because Patchwerk's hero power can remove them easily. So you also have to freeze Patchwork, at best regularly.

Mulligan for Goldshire Footman, Frostbolt and Acidic Swamp Ooze.Coin out your Ooze on turn 1: Patchwerk can only reequip his weapon on turn 3.Play a taunt each turn, especially on the turn before Patchwerk's weapon runs out or you destroy it with Acidic Swamp Ooze. This way he cannot use Hateful Strike (4 mana) and equip his new weapon (3 mana) on the same turn.Note: Acidic Swamp Ooze will be useless on turn 2 and from turn 7 on, as Patchwerk then will always have enough mana for his weapon (3) and his Hero Power (4).You have to play Water Elemental and 1-2 taunts on turn 5 to win this game.Your ideal turns will look somewhat like this:Turn 1: Coin and Acidic Swamp Ooze or Frostbolt.Turn 2: Taunts or Frostbolt.Turn 3: Single taunts will not change a thing because of Hateful Strike. Instead: Frostbolt or Duplicate. If you have no taunts on your board, it will copy Acidic Swamp Ooze!Turn 4: 1-2 taunts or Frostbolt.Turn 5: Water Elemental and Mirror Image or Goldshire Footman.Turn 6+: Any taunt.

Grobbulus' Hero Power deals 2 damage to all of your characters and summons 2/2 Slimes for each of your minions that dies to his Hero Power.Plan your turns with Grobbulus' Hero Power in mind: Losing your minions to trading is better than leaving a minion with less than 3 HP on the board, thus spawning a Slime for Grobbulus.This fight can be quite annoying depending on the number of Mutating Injections, Spectral Knights and Heroic Strikes Grobbulus draws.

Mulligan for Northshire Cleric, Holy Smite and Nerubian Egg.Having a Nerubian on turn 3 will allow you to kill Dancing Swords easily. The 2/2 Slime+card draw is better than the 4/4 Sword.Buff Deathlord's HP, put a Gurubashi Berserker next to it and keep both alive using Holy Novas and Darkscale Healers.Try to copy a Mutating Injection using Mind Vision and buff Deathlord.

Gluth's Hero Power will reduce the HP of all your minions to 1, so it will be best to use minions with low health.Kill Zombie Chows specifically to replenish your health. Rule of thumb: If they are alive for 3 turns, their deathrattle will no longer be an advantage. Try to use the deathrattles of Unstable Ghoul, Abomination and Necroknight to kill them.You absolutely need to destroy Gluth's weapons. Hope that 2 of the 4 are at the bottom of Gluth's deck, otherwise it will be hard to sustain the damage.Do not play to many minions at once, because of Abomination and Unstable Ghoul. Your minions should be able to deal 4 damage to kill Abominations.Both your hands will be empty pretty soon, once you survived the first 5-6 six rounds. It then will be pure topdeck luck to beat Gluth.

Mulligan for both Acidic Swamp Oozes.Use Humility on Necroknight to disable the biggest threat. Then kill it as soon as its deathrattle will destroy Spectral Knight and Spiteful Smith.Always protect Magma Rager with a taunt.

Thaddius

Thaddius' Hero Power will always switch health and attack values of all minions on the start of his turn. You can use damage against Thaddius' minions to weaken their attack next turn.You need a perfect starting hand to kill Feugen & Stalagg as soon as possible and then the right means to clear the board. It could take some tries.Thaddius has a lot of 2-/3-damage spells which will make it hard to establish board control. But Thaddius will also deliberately waste Lightning Storm on single minions, if he otherwise would lose minions.

Mulligan for Goldshire Footman, Holy Smite, Zombie Chow, Nerubian Egg and Shadow Word: Death.After killing Feugen and Stalagg asap you have to keep minions on the board. Board control is the only way to win this fight.In this fight heals and health buffs actually are attack buffs. If you do not heal a damaged minion, because of the swapping its stats will be reduced forever.Buffing your minions with Raid Leader or Stormwind Champion will result in a bug: Each time stats are switched your minions will gain additional +1 stats. Reaching turn 8 with Stormwind Champion on your board means, you are winning.Because Feugen and Stalagg already are on the board, playing your own versions will give you the chance on your own 1 or 2 versions of Thaddius.Having Kel'Thuzad next to a taunt will seal the game as well.

Mulligan for Corruption, Mortal Coil, Soulfire, Voidwalker, Zombie Chow and Nerubian Egg to kill Feugen and Stalagg asap.After killing Feugen and Stalagg asap you have to keep minions on the board. Board control is the only way to win this fight.Buffing your minions with Stormwind Champion will result in a bug: Each time stats are switched your minions will gain additional +1/+1.

Neither your Priest nor Warlock decks will work vs Thaddius. You don't even get Stalagg or Feugen until you beat him. You also don't get Dark Cultist until you complete the priest challenge, which I'm assuming also unlocks once you beat him.

Any other tips, please??

My guide is intended to work in Heroic mode. I assume, everyone, who wants to beat Heroic mode, already has beaten all bosses in Normal.

For Thaddius in Normal I suggest you just leave the missing cards out and fill the gaps with Raid Leader, Stormwind Champion and Deathlord respectively. If you stick to the advice in my guide, you will certainly beat Thaddius in Normal mode in just a few tries.

Ummm.... quick question. Isn't Jeeves an auto-win against this? His ability forces each player to draw to 3 cards... Patchwerk has no deck... he'd draw himself to fatigue death the turn Jeeves drops!

OK, so I tried this and it's not QUITE that awesome. Since he has zero cards in hand, it auto triggers three draws. As I had already hit him with a Coldlight Oracle, it was 3, 4, and 5 damage... and it seriously finished him!

When TOG was released I spent my first real money on the pre-purchase and made a decision to play standard, as I didn't believe I could ever be competitive in wild. I have never since played a wild game. However, I never dusted the GvG and Naxx cards I had then. My draw from MSG was quite poor, and I still lack staple legendaries like Sylvanas Windrunner and Ragnaros the Firelord. But I love Webspinner and others. I dont really want to do without any card, but I have so many holes in my collection. Any opinions and advice would be appreciated.
